Unfortunately Michael,
There's no free lunch.
What a water ionizer does is that it softens water by removing calcium and magnesium salts (other salts too) that make for bathroom rings and clothes that wash poorly.

Unfortunately there is no cheap way to just REMOVE these salts, and a water ionizer merely swaps them for sodium and chloride ions, i.e., SALT.
This hidden salt can readily raise blood pressure. I doubt, though, high enough to cause dizziness.

Personally, I don't know how anyone can drink the water afterwards...to me it always tastes salty. Some people use the ionizer only on water that goes into the washer or only on the feed to the hot water tank.
